Murlis morning at the Vet

As I wrote yesterday, Murli and I had an appointment at our Vet this morning. After a night of waking up all the time, I was seriously tired and sleepy when I got up. I feel like I haven’t woken up properly all day and still feel the same.

I put Murli into the carrier and off I went on my bicycle again, with the carrier hanging on my side with the shoulder strap. Murli does not complain and remains quiet while in the carrier and this time I didn’t record our trip on the GoPro. It was a grey morning and an icy cold wind was blowing. Murli was covered under her blanket in the carrier, as she always does. She likes to hide underneath it.

Our appointment was at 10:30am and when we arrived at the Vet, the waiting room was empty! So we didn’t have to wait long at all. The waiting room filled up quickly though after a while.

The Vet petted her a while to calm her down and then had a look in her mouth. Murli never likes it, no matter how careful the Vet is, so she started hissing and growling. Unfortunately, it wasn’t clear which of her teeth was causing her that pain, and all of them need to be sorted out.

If it would have been just one obvious tooth, it could have been sorted our right away today, but because that’s not the case, and the teeth really aren’t good, we will come back on Wednesday again. Then, she’ll be sedated and her teeth will get sorted out. I will bring her to the Vet at 11am and leave her there 😭.

The good news is, she’s in very good health with her Thyroid working fine again thanks to the medication, her weight is perfect, her heart and other organs are fine, so everything should go well. Of course I’ll be all nervous, waiting for the call to hear I can pick her up again. But it has to be done, as she’d be in pain if it doesn’t get sorted out. Poor girl!

She got a shot of antibiotic and a shot of pain medicine at the Vet. I also have another pain tablet for her for tomorrow.

Murli is fast asleep now, and not in pain.

Here is a video I took today while we were in the waiting room. She was giving me little mews and trying to hide under her blankie as usual.

Samantha is doing a lot better too! She has not been throwing up and the runs have stopped.

Sonic is fast asleep, but he’s been doing well too. It will take a bit longer to find the best way to handle the symptoms of his auto immune disease. He’s having a course of medication for a month and then we’ll see. But he’s certainly not as sniffly anymore and he’s a happy little boy!

Thank you all for your lovely comments! We will keep you updated on everything. Ralph, the cats and me wish all of you a nice week!

We’re at the Vet, in the waiting room right now. Yes, it really is not nice to leave her there. But at least it won’t be for long. Can’t wait to get her back again later. Thank you for the prayers! Will post about it tonight. Hugs!

Awww poor Murli, it must been really hard to leave her there, they get very anxious when they don’t see their owner near them. I’m sorry you had to go through all that.
My best wishes for her quick recovery.

That’s awesome! I know at least with ours, it’s easier to go to the Vet with them. It would be even more cat hysteria (+ my hysteria) if we had to chase them around the apartment once the Vet would arrive lol. They would totally freak out.
But Samantha and Sonic are perfectly behaved at the Vet. Sonic is even totally relaxed there. The complete opposite from when the Vet came to the home in Spain. And at least Murli stays still at the Vet, but being at home, she would not take any nonsense. We are so lucky we have a wonderful Vet Lady though.

I had to laugh when you mentioned hysteria and fur shedding… It’s so true! They shed like crazy. I’m amazed they even have any fur left afterwards…

I’m so glad it works with the Vet coming to your home! It would be so great if that would work with ours.
